Volume 6: Improving Compliance With Alcoholism Treatment and Volume 7: Strategies for Facilitating Protocol Compliance in Alcoholism Treatment Research are companion volumes that address the issue of compliance. Both are compendia of strategies for enhancing the patient’s compliance with psychosocial treatments as well as the therapist’s compliance with treatment protocols. Volume 6 addresses communication strategies and therapist compliance (e.g., assuring treatment fidelity, setting goals, and establishing a healthy and trusting therapeutic relationship). Volume 7 includes facilitating protocol compliance in research settings (e.g., adherence to medication regimes and visit attendance).
Both manuals feature specific hands-on strategies for tracking and increasing attendance and educating participants. Advances in technology, such as modern software and online real-time data entry, have made the issue of compliance much easier to manage. Electronic medication dispensing and monitoring systems, developed using NIAAA Small Business Innovation Research (or SBIR) contracts, provide automated management of medications regimes for research and clinical situations. Most research sites now have automated tracking systems that schedule and track attendance and alert staff when patients have missed an appointment. Likewise, medication adherence has become easier with blister-card packaging that identifies missed doses.
